Today we created pinhole cameras with laser cut wood, a dab of glue, a ton of duck tape, and a pin-pricked piece of tin foil.
We then ventured into the B&W darkroom where film sheets were administered. Afterwards, we had to quickly find a place of interest as we held the pinhole cameras against our chest,; desperately trying not to let any light in. Otherwise, the mission would've failed. When I identified my location, I set a timer for 18 seconds and flipped the camera around towards the subject - holding the camera as still and steady as possible. Once the 18 seconds had eclipsed, I flipped the camera back around towards my body and charged back to the darkroom, up the stairs. I then put the piece of exposed film into the developer for 60 seconds, allowing the exposed parts of the film to emanate. Straight after the film stopped developing within the developer, I put the film into the stopper for 30 seconds and then into the fixer (for the film not to fade out) for approximately 5 minutes. After the break, we are turning the negatives into positives!
